Hats Off to Margaret A. Harrell!

Hats Off! to Margaret A. Harrell. Rain Taxi Review of Books has reviewed her memoir, Keep This Quiet!, concluding that "Three men, embodiments of three different dimensions of the late 1960’s Zeitgeist—wispy dissolution, language-charged intellect, and Gonzo persona-building—are brought together by Harrell to invoke a world of passion and commitment, the world she had always hoped she would inhabit. Keep This Quiet! is at once noisy, sensual, and word-drunk, as well as quietly intimate and full of Harrell’s wonder at her luck. While most readers will come to this book for the Thompson content, in truth all the portraits here—all four of them—are compelling and often touching."

Hats Off!

Hats Off! to Gary Phillips who was named the new Poet Laureate of Carrboro. “A singer and storyteller, I believe words are important and poetry is an essential part of our public life," says Phillips. "My poetry is like homemade bread, simple, warm, and sometimes strongly flavored." Gary will hold the position until June 30, 2018.
